32 Cards
Introduction
I first saw the game 32 Cards at the Slotastic Internet casino on June 26, 2025. It is a simple game where the player chooses which of four betting positions will have the highest total.
Rules
- A 32-card deck is used, with ranks only 6 to K.
- Point values are as follows: 6 to 10 = pip value, J = 11, Q = 12, K = 13
- There are four betting spots titled 8, 9, 10, 11
- After betting is closed, the dealer will deal a card to each of the four betting spots.
- The score of each betting spot shall be the sum of the card dealt to that betting spot and the number of that betting spot. For example, if betting spot 8 got dealt a Q, then it would have 8+12=20 points.
- The spot with the greatest points shall win.
- In the event of a tie, additional cards shall be dealt to those positions that were involved in the tie until the tie is broken.
- Winning bets pay as follows:
- Winning bets on spot 8 pay 11 to 1.
- Winning bets on spot 9 pay 4.5 to 1.
- Winning bets on spot 10 pay 2.2 to 1.
- Winning bets on spot 11 pay 1 to 1.
Example
After the initial four cards were dealt the scores were:
- Spot 8 = 17
- Spot 9 = 20
- Spot 10 = 20
- Spot 11 = 19
There was a tie between spots 9 and 10 with 20 points each. After an additional card was dealt to the two tying spots, the adjusted scores were:
- Spot 8 = 17
- Spot 9 = 27
- Spot 10 = 26
- Spot 11 = 19
Spot 9 won with 27 points.

The following table shows the probability and expected return from all four bets.
